Product Description

What’s in the Box

  • Ruger American Rimfire Rifle
  • Interchangable Stock
  • Trigger Lock
  • Owner’s Manual

The 100% American-made Ruger American Rimfire™ .22LR bolt-action rifle builds on the enormous success of the centerfire Ruger American Rifle®.

With many of the standard Ruger American Rifle® features, this new line also combines several design innovations from the popular 10/22® rimfire rifle. This combination, along with the rifle’s adaptability, appeals to bolt-action enthusiasts - whether young or old, novice or experienced.

Firearm Features

  • Includes two interchangeable standard length of pull stock modules that provide comb height options for scope or iron sight use. By simply removing the rear sling swivel stud, stock modules can be changed in seconds. Compact stock modules are available at ShopRuger.com.
  • Features detachable, flush-mounted 10/22® BX-1 10-round rotary magazine and accept all 10/22® magazines, including the BX-25®, BX-25®x2 and BX-15®.
  • Easy-to-use 10/22®-style extended magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss removal of flush-mounted magazine.
  • Patent-pending Power Bedding® integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy.
  • Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, allowing shooters to make that perfect shot.
  • Features a visible, accessible and easy-to-actuate tang safety that provides instant security.
  • Cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning.
  • A 3/8" rimfire scope base is machined into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver® #12 bases (not included).
  • A 60° bolt provides ample scope clearance and the easy-to-use, receiver-mounted bolt release allows the bolt to be readily removed without requiring a pull of the trigger, a unique safety feature among rimfire, bolt-action rifles.
  • Also includes: Williams™ fiber optic front sight and adjustable, "V" slot, folding-leaf rear sight; sling swivel studs.
  • Ergonomic, lightweight black synthetic stock (designed for quick, easy handling) blends a classic look with modern forend contouring and grip serrations.

(5 out of 5) A much better value than the price suggests
by from West Lafayette, OH on

I wish I would have discovered this gem earlier. This rifle is a real sleeper in the 22lr bolt action category. First of all the bluing is like what one would see on a Sako`;` Deep black gloss. The machining and fit of the bolt, the magazine, and the trigger group are all beautiful. It's very easy to get sub 1/2 groups at 50 yards with CCI Standard Velocity shooting from an improvised rest using a good 3-9x40 hunting scope.
 I've yet to see any cold or clean bore fliers with the 8301 which to me is very important. Pests or game don't stick around for a second shot. The stock is very functional and the high comb piece fits me great when using the 40mm objective scope with Weaver Quad locks on the Weaver #12 bases not included. Note: my Stryra scope is a side focus so the objective is smaller than similar 40mm AO front ring scopes.
 Vance's in Columbus was very helpful allowing me to use my bore scope prior to purchase. They must have felt they had nothing to hide and they didn't. I've been passing on CZ 455s and 457s due to the poor quality of the guns, most notably the bores. So, off I head to the range to clean the clocks of the CZ owners with my lowly little Ruger!
